Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client whose therapy has included bed rest for several weeks. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Left lower extremity tenderness. This finding is the priority because it could indicate a potential blood clot (deep vein thrombosis) due to prolonged bed rest. This condition can lead to serious complications like pulmonary embolism. Loss of appetite (
A) may be common with prolonged bed rest but is not immediately life-threatening. Increased heart rate (
C) during physical activity is expected as a response to deconditioning. Musculoskeletal weakness (
D) is a common consequence of immobility but is not as urgent as assessing for a potential blood clot.
